I'm so sorry to hear about this. When we lived back east, our basement flooded and ruined a bunch of irreplaceable photos with negatives, home movies etc. and many other priceless items. Sump pumps can only do so much. You're looking at it right, that if you have too much stuff to get to it's time to pare down. We all have too much and can think about doing the same. Hope you can get out of it mold free...
